The unit support transmission via Ka-sat, BGAN Satellite and has a default storage capacity of 120 GB which can be upgraded until one TB.

The unit comes by default as a camera mount solution but can also be used with smaller camera fitted in a backpack with V-mount battery clip. The Live Link solution tries to meet every bodies requirements featuring two types of backpacks and a rain cover for usage on the back of a camera.
